Walking around the Winter Farmers' Market

(The Nutty Vermonter, and Fresh Tracks Farm Winery)

An overcast day made the lighting in Memorial Auditorium challenging for my flash, and most pictures came out either fuzzy or dark - but I'd like to share a few.

Here's a stand I hadn't noticed before. I could look at these giant marbles all day, but then again, I think regular marbles are pretty neat, too. She had a lamp shining on her wares, making them highly visible.

Full Moon Farm had a chicken special and a charitable contribution pledge. In this photo you can get a sense of how shady it is without a stronger flash or additional lighting.

Willow Hill farm sports a new piggy logo for their pork products.

Veggie Crumbles (made from seitan) in the tamale ingredients mean that Tamale Girl products can contain gluten (whether directly or through cross-contamination) and are now off-limits for me.

I did get enough root veggies to last for another month.

Dan said, "Is that Jello?" pointing to the layered cups next to the cookies.

"No," I said, "That's pudding."

"THERE'S PUDDING?!"

If the portions had been smaller, he would have eaten his way from this stand to the next, and he already had a four-pack of Krin's cupcakes (from Healthy Living) waiting in the truck.

The truck with a parking ticket on it, I might add...
